Hmmmm?

Also, it wasn't really mentioned on PL Watch, but what were the reasons you split with EliteFTS (or they with you)? If they're too personal or trivial to mention you don't need to answer, I won't be offended.  In any case, looks like you're already doing well with Critical Bench!

Week #15


#34 06 April 2009 (Mon A.M.)


*30 minutes out: Acetyl-L-Carnitine


20 minute general warm up:

Running
Walking-bouncing steps on toes (high knees)
Walking on the heels
Duck Walks
Lunge Walking
Twisting Torso Right and Left
Circular Movements of Arms and Torso
Jumping Exercises
Skipping Rope or jumping in place
Ballistic imitations of the upcoming lifts


1. Squat: 55% x 3; 65% x 3; 70% x 3 x 2; (knee wraps off estimated knee wrap max) 80% x 1; 91% x 1 x 2 (15)
2. Bench press: 55% x 3; 65% x 3; 70% x 3 x 2; 80% x 2 x 3; 91% x 1 x 3 (21)


Training time: 1 hour 40 minutes

My technical execution was spot on today in both the squat and bench; pretty much flawless. I hit all of my cues on both every time I did the singles and as a result I was really smoking the weights with plenty to spare.

Four training sessions left until the meet, but all of the heavy work is now done.

I have an agreement with Elite and for my end, I have promised to not discuss any of that on a public forum or otherwise.  I will uphold my end of the agreement.

Yes, I am *VERY HAPPY* to be a part of Critical Bench.  Mike Westerdal is a great guy to work for and I am very lucky to be a part of the CB team.

Today is Good Friday. It is a day of fasting and no meat for Catholics-which I take seriously. All sets were right on today. The 75% sets could have been speed work. My ability to properly execute lately has been really good.

Two more training days until the meet.
